Care Instructions for Miscanthus Little Tiger:
Ideal Planting Location: Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Miscanthus Little Tiger thrives in sunny borders, containers, or as part of mixed plantings.
Planting Steps: Remove the plant from its 9cm pot and plant at the same depth as in the container. Space plants around 45-60cm apart to allow for full growth and airflow.

Feeding Schedule: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and encourage strong foliage development.
Pruning and Maintenance: Cut back the foliage to ground level in late winter or early spring to make way for fresh new growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves throughout the year to maintain a tidy appearance.
